Chapter 1188: Point reflection
Eric’s attitude is strong, and John Casablanca’s tone is a little weaker, but he can’t help but say: “Eric, in my opinion, those new executives are not too suitable for the current position. Sears Levine, he doesn't even know many of the basic rules of the model brokerage industry, but he only cares about some of the company's accounts that are not loopholes."
Hills Levine is Eric’s financial director for Elite from the Firefly Group.
During this time, John Casablanca and the new financial director were very unhappy because of the strict financial audit of Elite by Sears Levin. Although it is known that Sears Levin is carrying out Eric’s own will, John Casablanca can’t help but point the target at the other end.
Although the founder of Elite, John Casablanca was no longer a major shareholder of the company.
However, on the other hand, John Casablanca has a very strong grasp of Elite's control, which inevitably creates a conflict of interest between shareholders and management. Therefore, before Eric took over, things like Elite's management were almost inevitable. This is why John Casablanca has a strong reaction to the financial audit of Hills Levine.
In fact, the second day of the inauguration of Hills Levin, in an email to Eric, Elite's financial situation can only be described as very confusing. When the company accepted Eric’s acquisition some time ago, it was clear that it had done a lot of work on financial data.
However, Erik was not surprised to see the email from Hills Levine.
Drowning can only fish, and if Elite's financial data is as clear as pure water, there is no room for John Casablanca and other Elite management.
In fact, because of the relationship with Cindy, Linda and other women, without looking at Elite's financial statements, Eric knows the many tricks inside the model agency.
For example, most model brokerage companies will use the commission fee to deduct a large amount of other expenses such as transportation expenses, cosmetics expenses, photography fees, etc. from the models' income, and some will even receive harsh results from the models. Billing. But in fact, many of these costs should be counted in the commission, which is the basic service that the brokerage company should have provided for the models.
As a result, the brokerage company charges an extra fee from the model on the one hand, and most of it flows directly into the management pocket. On the other hand, it also divides part of the model commissions into company administrative expenses, further reducing the profits that should belong to shareholders.
At this time, Eric has already had several audit reports submitted by Hills Levine. As long as Eric is willing, these reports are enough for him to file a lawsuit against Elite management, such as John Casablanca, but he did not mean it.
On the one hand, John Casablanca and others embezzled only the interests of the original shareholders of Elite, and had nothing to do with Eric. On the other hand, as John Casablanca has just hinted at in the words, there are some things that have already formed a hidden rule in the circle. It is impossible to completely eliminate the water and clear it.
Moreover, even if you want to reform the industry, Eric is more inclined to step by step, instead of uncovering all the drawbacks at once, and then making trouble.
"John, I don't intend to pursue the previous things. This financial audit is just that I want to know about Elite's real balance sheet." Eric said this, seeing John Casablanca's expression is obviously relaxed. Quite a lot, I continued: "However, in the future, Elite will definitely develop a more rigorous financial system. As long as Elite can go further, I will not regret your salary and bonuses, but some money, you will definitely not get it in the future. In my case, you can tell all the management of Elite. If they want to leave now, I won't stop it, but if you do something illegal in the future, you will not be faced with being simply dismissed."
John Casablanca originally wanted to open his mouth to defend a few words, but in the eyes of Eric sharply, he nodded honestly.
Eric knocked on John Casablanca and noticed that Edward Lazek stood with a girl and didn't have much to say with John Casablanca. If you want to go it alone, he will never be polite: "So, today is the case, John, you go back first, there is anything you can contact me at any time."
When John Casablanca left, Edward Lazek came with the girl.
Although I had just brewed it for a while, but when I really came over, the girl found that her skills in dealing with others in the past seemed to be suddenly cleared, but the expression was restrained and stood in front of Eric Williams. A villain is madly pushing another: you talk, stupid!
Eric looked at the girl wearing a piece of Victoria's pink pajamas. She saw her not talking and smiled and said, "So, what is your name?"
"Angela Lindevo," the girl heard Eric Williams ask herself, finally reacted, so answered, hesitated a little, and finally boldly took out a small hand to come over: "William Hello, Mr. James."
The music in the hall rang again at this time, and Eric knew that the new rehearsal began, signaling Angela Lindvo to sit next to him, and to Edward Lazek: "Edward, today is almost, this Let them end after the second time."
Edward Lazek nodded and turned and left.
Angela Lindevo sat down beside Eric, and looked at the side of the man next to her under the slanting scorpion. She felt the faint breath from the other side, her cheeks were hot, and her mind was not flying. A little excited, some looking forward, with some embarrassment.
As a signing model of IMG, Angela Lindvo has actually debuted in 1993.
IMG was very optimistic about her potential. According to the established training route of the top model company, Angela Lindevo should have emerged at the age of sixteen. At the age of 18, she was officially promoted to the front line and began to receive top brand endorsements.
However, the rise of the Vimy Legion has completely broken the established rules of the modeling industry.
A large number of supermodels have become famous by the Wei Mi big show platform, and instantly become the advertising darling of the world's major brands. Whether it is a top luxury brand or a second- and third-line fast-moving brand, when choosing a spokesperson, the most important thing is the popularity of a model. In the fashion circle, the popularity of the Vimi Army is undoubtedly the highest.
While the Vimy Legion's crazy harvesting brand endorsement dominated the top show, it naturally blocked the rising passage of many latecomers. Although the model agency is greatly depressed, it has to change the traditional training strategy and turn more energy into the big show.
Therefore, although many fashion circles have always criticized the Victorian big show in a low-sounding style, the obvious fact is that in recent years, almost all high-street models are striving for the audition opportunities of the Secret Angels. The catwalk is even more robbed.
In this case, Angela Lindvo spent six years at IMG, and finally fortunately got the qualification for this year's Vimy big show.
Now, Angela Lindevo feels that this year is simply her lucky year.
Who is the man next to him, Eric Williams.
When it’s just a small model that is unknown, Angela Lindevo can hear countless rumors about Eric Williams, not just his wealth, or his status in Hollywood, even if he doesn’t mention it. In the fashion world, Eric Williams is also a very detached existence.
Mr. Biggest. Jealous-Daddy.
Although it sounds awkward, it is said that these are the nicknames of Eric Williams in the private supermodels in the circle. These small models do not have such qualifications to call each other, if they say rashly When you come out, you will often be ridiculed by other people who don’t know how to be tall.
At this time, sitting next to Eric Williams, Angela Lindevo looked at the girls who were rehearsing on the catwalk not far away, and even gave birth to some faint superiority, it seems that they also provoked The man next to him can look down on the atmosphere of all beings.
The music on the stage stopped unconsciously, watching the girls who heard the news that they could work ahead of time, and Angela Lindevo suddenly remembered what Eric Williams had just said.
Everyone is going to work in advance, then what about you?
This seems to have no suspense. She is not a naive little girl, naturally knows why Eric Williams wants to leave her.
Thinking this way, Angela Lindevo had no resistance in her heart, and unconsciously moved to Eric Williams.
After all, I can do something with this man next to me, but there are so many girls in the circle who are dreaming of things. Even if you can become the girlfriend of this super tycoon, um, one of them, for these girls, it is definitely a step into the sky.
The hall gradually quieted down and echoed Eric Williams' voice again: "So, how old are you this year?"
Angela Lindevo didn't have any emotions because Eric asked about her age, and obediently replied: "20 years old, Mr. Williams, I am 20 years old."
Eric said: "Looking at your performance on the runway is very restrictive, I thought you were just 18 years old."
The 18-year-old is the minimum age limit for becoming a Victorian angel, and LTD does not sign a contract with a minor model.
When Angela Lindvo heard this, she picked it up and thought that Eric felt that her performance was good. She quickly explained: "Mr. Williams, I am just too nervous. After all, this is very rare. chance."
"Of course, there is no better show stage than Wei Mi, so you should be more open."
Angela Lindover chick nodded like a glutinous rice: "I will."
Eric looked at the girl's appearance and couldn't help but smile. "Don't nod like this, it doesn't match your temperament."
Angela Lindevo was subconsciously trying to nod again, but forcibly stopped and smiled awkwardly: "I know, Mr. Williams."
"So, is it free at night, eat together?"
Angela Lindevo pretended to shy away from the man's eyes, but he hesitated without hesitation: "Okay."
With such a chat, Edward Lazek and the director of this big show, Andrew Nickel, came over together.
Just after four o'clock in the afternoon, Eric did not mean to leave early, but stood up and told several people: "Let the sound engineer prepare, Angela, change the clothes just now, come to the stage."
Angela Lindevo heard the words, but they quickly reacted and walked obediently toward the background.
Eric walked to the front with Edward Lazek and waited for Angela Lindover to change clothes while chatting on the side of the runway.
A moment later, Angela Lindevo appeared again on the runway in the day of the rehearsal with the beautiful transparent wings.
Eric walked to the T-stage and saw that the girl wanted to squat down and listen to her own words. She quickly stopped and said, "You are very beautiful with these long-length gloves, so wait for your hands to swing, like when dancing in a nightclub. Oh, don't put your head over, the most important thing is to be enchanting and slower. Also, try to let go of the pace, use scissors cloth, well, go there and prepare, let me say hello."
Angela Lindevo listened carefully and promised to return to the entrance to the T station. I brewed for a moment and nodded to this side.
Eric made a snap and ordered to wait for the nearby sound engineer: "Music."
The music is ringing.
Angela Lindvo waited patiently for a while, grabbed the rhythm and stepped on the scissors cloth, and swayed her arms a little.
The girl's scissors cloth is very eye-catching, with a distinct personal style, so when it comes up, the temperament is just like two people when they just rehearsed. However, once the super invincible twister was unbearable at this time, it seemed too deliberate, and there was no such mystery and enchantingness as the jungle witch cast.
Eric has never been a patient who lacks patience. When the girl finishes the first time, Eric will call her again, carefully pointing out some of the shortcomings, and personally giving Angela according to some of the memories. Lindov made a demonstration.
A supermodel's step style has never been formed overnight. Eric has enough patience, and others naturally won't complain. After more than an hour of practice, Angela Lindevo finally has some The charm of the 'invincible twist hand'.
At least, although with a bit of compliment, but Edward Lazek and Andrew Nickel are not praising, but they feel from the bottom of their heart, Angela Lindevo after changing the style is more style, Wei Mi The T stage is destined to have a unique supermodel.
So unconsciously, time also came to work, Eric did not delay everyone's rest time, and after Edward Lazek and others left, they left Angela Lindevo to leave Lexington Avenue. arsenal.
Originally, I wanted to pick a restaurant with a girl for dinner, but I received an invitation call. Eric took the girl to the Upper East Side and attended a business group gathering held by Goldman Sachs CEO Henry Paulson.
